He will probably be fine as far as handling the trailer goes however he should check the weight limits of his trucks receiver. Many of them have a weight carrying limit of 500-600lbs and if your tongue weight is above that amount a weight distribution hitch is called for.
That information should be on a sticker on the receiver itself.

I should of cleared this up. My mistake. He is going to utilize my hitch itself but wondering if the distribution bars would be needed. Will edit post.
You are talking about two different things. Barney is referring to the actual receiver "hitch" attached to the truck. You are referring to the draw bar or the removable part. So what Barney stated still applies. As long as the TT tongue weight does not exceed your friends receiver rating than they can tow without the weight bars with your draw bar.
